On June 17, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
released its scores for the
Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) for fiscal year 2010. The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority
(FCRHA)ranked among the best of the nation’s more than 3,000
housing authorities with a PHAS score of 94 out of a possible 100,
including a perfect score for financial management. HUD also
recognized the FCRHA as a high performer in the management of its
1,060 federally funded public housing units.

“We are proud of this achievement and are committed to maintaining
this high standard for residents of the FCRHA’s housing,” said FCRHA
Vice-chair Elisabeth Lardner (Mount Vernon District).

The assessment looks at the physical conditions of the properties;
financial and operational management; and resident satisfaction. Housing
owned by the FCRHA is managed and maintained by the Fairfax County
Department of Housing and Community Development. For more information,
